STOP SLEEPING

Punk flunky, indie drop out, marginally mathy, spacewards or maybe just some 80s fan, Stop Sleeping isn't just a synth and guitar wizard, but also an extremely versatile american singer who can emulate different vocal styles with impressive ease. BROKEN GENERATION's driving force is the Johnny Rotten-style vocals of Stop Sleeping and I believe this is the first of many collabs in the near future. Check out his great songs available on his Soundcloud page:

CHRIS SCHLUE

Chris is an incredibly talented German guitarist and composer, and as if that weren't enough, he's a walking encyclopedia on all things mixing and mastering. Believe me, his ears are absolutely insane for detail and Chris is responsible for the exquisite technical quality of BROKEN GENERATION's mastering. Our next collabs are already in the works, but in the meantime, check out his great individual and band tracks on Soundcloud:

This song grew out of a little disagreement I had with my sister in music, @DJShAnkAri, who is also a brilliant astrologer. She looked into my chart and pointed out that the way the stars were aligned, my ego was reacting in a way that wasn’t really “me.” At first, it stung, but then I realized how right she was — and that awareness inspired me to turn it into music. Ego’s Lie is about how the ego twists our thoughts, convinces us we’re not enough, and makes us feel alone when in truth we’re deeply connected. I wanted to capture how those illusions fall away when we choose harmony over comparison, connection over pride. 

Another song inspired by ShAnkAri’s brilliant mind and astrological insight. Thanks sis!! 🫶😘❤️🫂



LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark, a shadow at my side
Telling me I’m broken, that I’ve got to hide
It feeds on doubt, it twists the truth inside
A masquerade of power, but it’s all a lie

[Pre-Chorus]
It says I’m alone, I’m fighting to survive
But I’m a part of something greater, still alive

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Verse 2]
It wants me to rank, to climb a useless tower
To crush every rival, confuse strength with power
But harmony’s the circle, the truth we’ve denied
Not a pyramid of pride, but a bond that unites

[Pre-Chorus]
It says I’m alone, I’m fighting to survive
But I’m a part of something greater, still alive

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Verse 3]
Pain becomes the anchor, it chains me to the night
But even in the silence, I can feel the light
Every soul’s a circle, every cell a flame
Together we’re the organism, never just a name

[Bridge]
Oh, ego loves the suffering
Oh, but I won’t play its game
I’ll rise above the whispering
And call it by its name

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Chorus]
Ego’s lie, it feeds on the disguise
But harmony reveals it, truth opens my eyes
I break the chains, I step into the sky
No more living for the ego’s lie
Ego's lie

[Chorus X2]
Ego’s lie, it tells me I’m not enough
Builds a wall of pain, makes me call it love
But I see the cracks, I won’t be deceived
Ego’s lie can’t take what I believe

[Outro]
The circle keeps turning, the organism breathes
Ego fades to silence, no more lies to weave
I’m a voice in the chorus, and I’m finally free
From the ego’s lie that once defined me

Ego’s Lie

Undertow

Cryin In The Night
By Hank Rusch

Oh, I try to keep our lovelight burnin'
But now I see it growin' dim
I finally realized why you're always cryin'
You're gonna leave me for him

Every night it's the same
You wake up weepin' and callin' his name
Then you cry yourself back to sleep
You can't hide the secret that you keep

Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna say everything's allright?
Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna cry in the night?

I know it won't be long
With the plans you're makin'
soon I'll be gone
but I ain't gonna make easy for you
I think it's time for you to tell the truth

Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna say everything's allright?
Is there somethin' you want to tell me?
Or are you gonna cry in the night?
are you gonna cry, cry in the night?
Tell me baby, Tell me baby, don't tell me lies
Tell me now in the night, and in the mornin'
In the mornin' I'll be gone
No, No, No, don't cry anymore, baby
Tell the truth and dry your eyes
I know why, I know why, you cry in the night
Cry, Cry, Oooooooh! Cryin' in the night
Cryin' Cryin' Cryin' Cryin' in the night

AURORA DE CASTILISCAR

Es María en la corte del cielo
    estrella del Norte y guía del mar.
    Es amparo y refugio de todos
    cuantos el Rosario vayan a rezar.
    Venid, venid y llegad
    Venid, venid y llegad.

Y en la hora triste de la muerte     
    la Virgen María nos ha de amparar.
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad.
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad.

Por ti, madre mía    
    logremos dichosos                              
    los frutos copiosos                          
    de la redención.
    ¡Oh¡ madre amantísima
    no nos desampares                        
    hasta que en el cielo
    a todos nos halles,  
    hasta que en el cielo                                   
    a todos nos halles.

Y en la hora triste de la muerte                 
    la Virgen María nos ha de amparar.
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad                              
    Venid y llegad, venid y llegad.

AURORA OF CASTILISCAR

Mary is in the court of heaven,
the Northern Star and guide of the sea.
She is the protection and refuge of all
who go to pray the Rosary.
Come, come and arrive
Come, come and arrive.

And in the sad hour of death,
the Virgin Mary must protect us.
Come and arrive, come and arrive.
Come and arrive, come and arrive.

Through you, my Mother,
may we happily obtain the abundant fruits of redemption.
Oh loving mother
Do not abandon us
Until in heaven
You find us all,
Until in heaven
You find us all.
And in the sad hour of death
The Virgin Mary must protect us.
Come and arrive, come and arrive
Come and arrive, come and arrive.

Take It or Leave It

[Verse 1]
I move along the hidden lines,
steps crossing over shifting signs.
A quiet pact inside my chest—
it guides my stride through every test.
Dust on the road becomes my ink,
marking truths I didn’t think.
The turning world still points the way,
neon dusk to rising day.

[Verse 2]
Shadows press but I stay bold,
shaping purpose from the fold.
The fractured nights that stirred my fear
taught me how to see things clear.
Each stumble opens up a door,
teaching what I stand here for.
Patterns lift me, beat by beat,
into rhythms fierce and sweet.

[Pre-Chorus]
When I’m wavering on the line,
I lean into the quiet sign.
Challenges refine my fire—
motion pulling me up higher.

[Chorus]
I rise through every force that tests me,
shaded trials still give me form.
I flip the edge and find it steady,
dancing calm inside the storm.
I honor flaws that shape my journey,
open cracks let courage through.
I rise through every force that tests me—
strong, more radiant, deeply true.

[Verse 3]
Wrong turns sketched a clearer route,
showed me where to cast my root.
When worn down to something real,
I learn the core of what I feel.
Heavy days and tired mind
prove the care I left behind.
In the quiet, purpose rings—
soft yet fierce in how it sings.

[Bridge]
Gratitude turns bruise to sign,
marking growth by new design.
I seal my covenant with light,
finding lift in every night.

[Final Chorus]
I rise through every force that tests me,
shaded trials still give me form.
I flip the edge and keep it steady,
shifting ground beneath the storm.
Hardest moments gift my center
rhythms warm and aligned.
I honor heat that forged my passage—
sharpened courage in my mind.
I rise through every force that tests me—
and walk in honor of my climb.

[Outro]
Thank you to the distance and the storm;
they shaped the path that I transform.


Polyrhythm Cove

“Supernatural” is a double album of praise & worship written from a place of spiritual awakening. Abigail Markley blends modern R&B rhythms with gospel harmonies, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and cosmic — worship that reaches for heaven and lands in the heart.

These songs explore healing, breakthrough, and the supernatural movement of God in everyday life. The album invites listeners to experience worship as transformation — the kind that lifts the soul, renews hope, and brings the light of Christ into every moment. Each track is as individual as she is.

Is There Hope For Mankind

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢

VickStiX's Artist Manifesto
*******************

I am the static between truth and noise.
A pulse that cracks the silence open.
When the world forgets its conscience,
I remind it — one beat, one lyric, one spark.

I don’t shout to divide; I sing to awaken.
I don’t chase fame; I chase clarity.
My art is not a weapon — it’s a flare in the dark.
A signal to every soul that still believes in better.

Let the trolls rage, let the cowards hide.
They can’t drown out a voice that’s tuned to truth.
I will paint their lies in sound and light
until justice has a melody again.

Because protest is not anger — it’s hope with a megaphone.
And I was born to be loud.

🎶 VickStiX — Truth. Rhythm. Revolution.
